The California Coastal Commission's Friday session turned into a masterclass in climate adaptation — unanimously approving a redesigned Broad Beach residence with 13 special conditions that forced the home landward and off its seaward pilings, while hearing a parade of public testimony on coastal destruction, offshore wind equity, and the housing squeeze from short-term rentals. The meeting fell on the anniversary of September 11, and Commissioner Mike Wilson closed public comment with a tribute to a Humboldt Bay wildlife refuge manager killed aboard Flight 93.
